Unwanted hair is most commonly taken off through plucking, shaving, waxing or chemical depilatories. These remedies are merely painful, messy and are only temporary. That is why most people seek for more comfortable ways to remove this unwanted hair. Electrolysis is then invented and become popular and effective but shows no comfort ability to clients and results are too slow. There is a new aid of this problem and that is Diode Laser Hair Removal. This is more effective in removing unwanted hair and with less discomfort than the any other methods. This treatment is also for men, women, young or old who wants to get rid of unwanted hair.

The specifications of Diode Laser are the following:

Wavelength – 800, 810 nm

Spot Size – 9mm

Fluence – 10-40

Pulse Width – 5-30 ms

Repetition Rate – 1Hz

The Diode Laser is an extremely proficient machine made up of tiny diodes or semiconductors. They are assembled together to produce light. It has also longer wavelength than the Alexandrite and Ruby lasers. Diode laser also provide safer and deeper penetration into the skin layer. Side effects are also present in diode laser treatment but it is curable and will not stay long. The side effects are maybe scars, burns, skin discoloration, redness and swelling. For some patients, a condition called urticaria sets in. It is so popular today because the affected area of the body tends to recover faster. The laser targets the pigment located in the hair follicle and shaft. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle and this energy is converted to heat which results indamage to the hair follicle. This damage causes delayed re growth of hair and in most cases, permanent destruction of many of the hair follicles. Unlike electrolysis, which disables one hair follicle at a time, the laser reaches and treats hundreds of follicles at a time. The popular diode laser devices that are available in today’s markets are as follows: SLP100, F1 Diode, Me DioStar, Light Sheer, LaserLite, Apex 800, and Epistar.
